Meet a Friend of BAM: Gil

This month in Meet a Friend, we chatted with an Emmy-nominated film composer who specializes in sensitive, socially conscious material. He also happens to be a BAM member.

This month's featured Friend: GilMember since: December 2012

Where are you from? What neighborhood do you live in now?
I was conceived in Manhattan and was born in Louisville KY. I grew up in London, Holland, and Israel. So I would say ... planet Earth, in general. I live in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

If you had to describe BAM to someone who had never heard of us, what would you say?
BAM is the mothership. She makes daily landings in Brooklyn, bringing the very best of intergalactic creativity, in all media, for the benefit of all of humankind.

If you had to live somewhere other than New York, where would it be?
Probably New York.

How far would you travel to see a show or film you really loved?
I would travel across the planet. High on the list is seeing Sufi Whirling Dervishes in Morocco.

If the world was ending and you could only save one Iconic BAM Artist, which one would it be and why?
Oy, the guilt! Well Laurie Anderson would probably get saved by Superman so I would go ahead and save Philip Glass. Or, I would just load everyone into the mothership and simply fly away ...
